AC Line Splitter - How does it work? Checked with a Fluke 324 & Hioki 3288-20 Clamp Meters [CC]

A video on how line splitters work. Inside a Newstar AC line splitter equipped with X1 and X10 legs for current measurement with a clamp meter. Line splitters are typically used for small household loads that are plug connected to convenience outlets or wall outlets. Instruments used: Hioki 3288-20 & Fluke 324, both true RMS clamp meters.

Do you mean L1 and Neutral or Do you mean Split phase L1 and L2 ?

I don't know who coined the term "line-splitter" for this device but that designation does not mean "split-phase" in the sense of 3-wire single phase system. It simply provides a physical separation between the two single-phase voltage supply lines. This allows for the convenient clamping of a clamp meter on just one line of that supply through one of the legs of the line splitter. As you know, with a clamp-on current sensor, you can only measure current on one line, not two. In this manner you can connect any single phase power cord for small appliances at the output of the line splitter without physically altering the cords themselves, and then measure their current by clamping on a leg of the line splitter.
